Why building your own personal Board of Directors will propel your career in ways you’ve never dreamed of 🚀✨ I am finishing up a Women’s Leadership course this week at Saïd Business School, University of Oxford and this was one of my ✨biggest✨ takeaways. Building a personal Board of Directors is a game-changer for your career. Here's why: 1️⃣ Diverse Perspectives 💡 Gain insights from varied industries and roles. Seek a diverse range of opinions purposefully, so that the collective result is objective in nature. 2️⃣ Mentorship 🌳 Benefit from the wisdom of experienced professionals. While you may find a mentor in an established program, keep an eye out for someone that can provide you a powerful perspective on career growth in your day-to-day. 3️⃣ Networking 🤝 Open doors to new opportunities through connections, and not just job opportunities. One of the best doors you can open is opportunities to gain knowledge you wouldn’t have had otherwise. 4️⃣ Accountability ✔️ Stay on track with guidance and support. If you share your goals with someone that cares, they will help you stay on track and refocus on the bigger picture when you get distracted by the day-to-day. 5️⃣ Growth 📈 Learn from constructive feedback to excel in your career. One of the most fulfilling things about mentoring for me is helping someone to avoid the pitfalls that I fell into, and watching them get better than I ever was. Find someone who feels the same way about your growth. Start curating your board today and watch your career soar! 🚀✨ #boardofdirectors #customersuccess #careerdevelopment #customersuccessbestie
